5 hard-hitting opinions by UFC stars on Roe v. Wade getting overturned
It is not unheard of for UFC fighters to express their views on things that aren't related to MMA. Whether it's fighters showcasing their feelings about recent political events or a more absurd phenomenon like Colby Covington's history of spoiling beloved franchise movies he despises, UFC stars are not shy about expressing how they feel about certain topics.
At times, their views are communicated in post-fight interviews or press events, whether they're asked for their opinions by journalists or are simply compelled to speak from the heart by their inherent convictions.
No topic is more heated at the moment in the United States of America than the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Perceived to be taking away the right women once held to have abortions, the Supreme Court's ruling came under fire from a large section of the society.
However, the UFC fighters whose opinions have been heard have been largely male, and this list examines 5 of them giving their takes on the recent development.
#5 Jeff Molina
This month alone, Jeff Molina has had to defend the social integrity on more than one issue. After picking up a split-decision victory on the UFC Fight Night card headlined by Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Alexander Volkov, he was attacked online.
For the bout, Molina wore the UFC Pride Shorts in honor of Pride Month and to benefit Southern Nevada's LGBTQIA+ Center, which earns profit from its sales of UFC Pride Month apparel to the promotion.
